For a super slicked look, skip the volume-adding technique and simply comb your hair back as close to your scalp as possible. For a less severe look, part your hair on one side and slick it around the front and then back, rather than combing straight back from the forehead.
Consider wearing a headband to keep your hair from coming forward if yours tends to come loose from hairspray. You can also pin your bangs back with barrettes to keep the slicked back style in place.
Clips can give your hair dimension and style. Try pulling your hair back and adding butterfly or flower shaped clips. Bows and ribbons can make your hair look shiny and pretty especially if it is a large bow at the back of your hair. Headbands can be so pretty on short hair and make your hair look fuller if pulled all the way back. Also ones with flowers, bows, and so on on them can add height to the headband.
